    Guillaume Lemaire

    Worst news. He was a fantastic guy, right to the end. Death be not proud. Who's going to make us cables now. Sincere condolences to his family.

    dstv E48-32 error

    Fight with them. Seems their latest software is breaking stuff. I thought it was my decoder. Extra View (4U decoder) had the dreaded error about three weeks ago without any changes having been made on my side. I sat on the phone with someone trying many things, it wouldn't even scan as it...

    That ONE song that swung you into

    Grew up on an overdose of music due to our uncles' involvement in the industry but sound quality was never a big thing. It was a combination of music and a system that swung me. Campus days ('92) I walked into a sound shop and they made me listen to this album. Proton + KEF was the sytem. ...

    Kids vs Hifi

    I agree. I couldn't be upset after that. We were baffled about what the coloured rocks were though but an answer came quick from #2, "Oh I know what that is...play dough", Me: "Ini?" But yep, it's super dry play dough.

    Kids vs Hifi

    My son is 7 now and two weeks ago when I had a sit down to listen I noticed the left speaker sounded a bit weird. So, I took off the grill cover and discovered some serious poking had taken place since I last had the covers off (December 2017). Exhibit A So I summon the two older ones up and...

    Gibson guitars [emoji450] filing for chap 11 bankruptcy

    One recent news item suggests (in hindsight) that Onkyo cutting ties with Gibson possibly led to this Chapter 11 filing. https://www.channelnews.com.au/onkyo-cuts-ties-with-gibson-brands-philips-supply-chain-falters/

    Members' Kit pics

    I would so like a cherry LCR 600 S3 like my speakers. That's a LCR6 S2 in the picture...and it's black ash. Soundwise, it's a better match for the 602s than LCR60 S3 but colour is meh....and the yellow cones are more like orange cones.

    You don't say  ;D. The back is indeed a cable mess as well as what is currently visible. I've just put up the TV screen three weeks ago and the HT amp has been missing for a year and a bit. I'll also feel a little bit better once I've tidied up. I love the imaging of smaller speakers too.

    Sinotec / Makro service

    Tried to get a pair of legs/stand for a Sinotec recently. They don't keep spare ones. They can give me one from a returned unit, had to take my contact details and put me on the the waiting list. I'm not the first owner and the TV is a UHD unit from 2015. No wonder they just swap things out...

    Nice house. You can bet the owner loves everything inside it and I suspect that's all that matters.

    Yamaha repair in Durban (preferably) but anywhere if all fails

    Found just one 5A fuse on the board where the power cable lands. Seems solid throughout. Will try to get another one anyway, just in case. Other than that, no sign of any damage anywhere.

    Yamaha repair in Durban (preferably) but anywhere if all fails

    Greetings I bought a used RXV-1065 recently. I came home last night to find the unit won't come on. I press the button and hear the click but nothing happens. OSD blank and no lights on. Press again(presume now switches off), another click. Press again(turning on), another click but nothing...
